I wouldn't want one, but 5 bucks sounds like a great price

I haven't seen a wired one before but if u are low on controllers get it, it is a good price compared to the wireless.

actually ps3 controllers can be wired,

you know that usb thing that you connect to console,

thats a wire ,

eventually every ones battery will go bad,

and have to switch to the wire ,

or buy a replacment and disasemble controller lol,

thats obviously one of the downfalls to the way sony choose to do controllers battery

I haven't tried but if you have the specs you may be able to order the battery from radio Shack or Battery Plus stores.

Odds are it's an off-brand like Niko or Pelican... I would def take it for 5 bucks, just make sure it works first. Anything more than 5... i don't know. I've had very bad experiences with off-brand controllers, (esp on the PS2) and if it's a matter of saving ten bucks, you'll prob want to go with a much more reliable official controller
